It's considered bad style to criticize a person's performance when
they are not available to defend themselves. Debian Developers are
humans, too. The usual standards of courtesy apply. (Surely you
don't expect them to read debian-devel cover-to-cover, which would
only add more load.)
Right now, Debian has some external communication problems, but I can
assure you that discouraging Martin in any way is not part of the
solution.
